Default Pocket watchs

After reading a few posts on pocket watches I decided to find a pocket watch I had traded for during a Swap on a Parker shotgun a few years ago. The watch and a small pen knife was thrown in to even up the sale. I had put it away shortly after the trade, and had not really looked it over that close. It does keep perfect time. From the engraving I would think this was gifted to a lady. After taking pictures today, I can really see the details and it seems like a very nice watch. Just wanted to share a few pictures. ( Damn the guys back in the day could grow some mustaches) LOL

The watch supposedly came out of Sothern Arizona. During this time period things were pretty wild, and AZ was still a Territory. It would be a tough woman to live during this time in the Territory. Like our Parkers I wish the watch could give up its history.
